I stand corrected conder, thank you for clearing that up
it's technically brass as it is an alloy rather than 100% copper
Clear to me, Ed. And it's pretty easy too. Weigh the two coins. The brass (Mint Set) coin will weigh more. If you use a simple balance, you...
well, that is before 2009... 4 cents, 6 quarters, 5 dollars, a nickel, a half, and a dime
well, I'm not able to speak for what circulated back in the time, but the year 1873 comes to mind. Minted that year include: Indian Head...

I agree with Doug in that computer-minded coin collectors will tend to be younger as they tend to be more a product of the "computer age"
He's referring to the lack of luster on the reverse in particular. The coin looks white, even bright, but has a dull appearance to it. I also...
This is a perfect illustration of what I had said. The skirt lines are weaker on the pre-1921 issues (as seen on this 1918) and not of as much use...
